Frequently asked questions

What is a Tailwind color scale?

A Tailwind color scale is eleven named stops from 50 (near-white) to 950 (near-black). Shade 500 is your brand color. Lighter stops work for backgrounds and borders; darker stops work for hover, text, and high-contrast UI.

How do I add a custom color palette to Tailwind?

Copy the Tailwind Config output and paste it under theme.extend.colors in tailwind.config.js. You can then use classes such as bg-brand-500, text-brand-700, and border-brand-200.

What is WCAG contrast ratio and why does it matter?

WCAG AA needs a 4.5:1 contrast ratio for normal text. Each shade shows ✅ B if black text passes on that color, or ✅ W if white text passes.

Can I use this palette in non-Tailwind projects?

Yes. Switch to CSS Variables and copy --color-brand-50 through --color-brand-950. Those custom properties work in any stylesheet.

Is this generator free?

Yes. It runs entirely in your browser with no signup. Your brand color never leaves the device.
